If you are using VC8 or VC9, you should install CGAL using the Windows 
installer CGAL-3.6.1-Setup.exe, and download the precompiled binaries for 
gmp/mpfr with it. My guess is that you are using VC9, because the autolinking 
of CGAL asks for files with the infix "vc90".

If you want to use gmp-5.0.1_and_mpfr-3.0.0_precompiled_i686.zip, you need to 
set the CMake options CGAL_AUTO_LINK_GMP and CGAL_AUTO_LINK_MPFR to false, 
during the CMake configuration, before the compilation of CGAL libraries. 
This 
setup is not officially supported by the CGAL project in CGAL-3.6.1. It was 
added to CGAL-3.6.1 to make an initial support for VC10. In CGAL-3.7, there 
will be no longer any autolinking for CGAL dependencies, that will be 
provided 
in a single variant (release, multi-thread, dynamic runtime: with the flag 
/MT).
